Hello everybody! I hope that you're all doing well!
Congratulations RockNRoll on 17 days without binging! That's amazing! You're an inspiration to me!
MeganL, welcome to the thread! I agree that it's probably best for you to begin by controlling portions and getting yourself ready to lose weight. I also did that at the beginning, and it really helped me to keep on track longer than I usually do with a diet! I began by limiting my sugars a bit and keeping my portions "normal" and that helped me so much. Good luck to you!
I had a bit of a rocky day yesterday! For some reason I started to get nauseous and ill, and was running a bit of a fever. I feel much better today and feel up to starting once again on my journey!
Unfortunately I did slip off of the low-carb program yesterday. I was feeling so ill and my stomach was rebelling against the idea of more protein, so I ate a piece of something sweet and awful for me. I managed to keep it within a serving, but felt awful at my lack of will power. But I'm determined not to run my car off into the ditch just because I took a wrong detour! I'm going to steer myself back in the right direction and head back on plan.
Still... I'm 5 1/2 days since a food binge, and I've never felt more in control of my cravings! I hope to keep Bingie
in his cage for the rest of his life, but am determined to take it hour by hour!
I hope that you're all doing well!

I know that it's hard, but you went so far and I'm sure that you can manage to get that far and even further again. Please don't beat yourself and take it, as you said, one day at a time. It would be overwhelming to plan too many days all at once!
